Worse than SMALLPOX.
A GREAT DANGER WHICH MENACEs AN
UNsUsPICIoUs PUBLIC.


The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, in London, reports that over fifty
people out of every hundred consump-
tives are victims of constipated or in
active kidneys.
Consumption is one of our national
diseases, and the above report goes to
prove what has often been said in our
columns during the last eight years
that kidney troubles are not only the
cause of more than half of the cases of
consumption, but of ninety out of every
hundred other common diseases. They
who have taken this position made
tigation, and their proofs that they
have discovered specific for the terri
BILE and stealthy kidney diseases, which
have become so prevalent among us, is
wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful adj
vertising. They have challenged the
medical profession and science to in
vestigate. They have investigated,
and those who are frank have admitted
the truth of their statements. They
claim that ninety per cent of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys;
that these inactive kidneys allow the
blood to become filled with uric acid poi
son; that this uric acid poison in the blood
carries disease through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed
in the system within twenty-four hours
to kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it re-
quires only ordinary wisdom to see the
effect inactive kidneys must have upon
the system.
If this poison is not removed it
ruins every organ. If the bowels,
stomach or liver become inactive we
know it at once, but the other organs
help them out. If the kidneys become
constipated and dormant the warning
comes later on, and often when it is
too late, because the effects are remote
from the kidneys and those organs are
not suspected to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased
are unable to resist the attacks of this
poison, and the disease often takes the
form of, and is treated as, local afflic-
ton, when in reality the real cause of
the trouble was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men of the pres
ent day hold what was fact twenty
years ago-that kidney disease is incura-
BILE, according to the medicines au-
thorized by their code. Hence they
ignore the original cause of disease
itself and give their attention to USE
less treating of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine,
morphine, or with salts and other phys
hnt hnc
the disease, while the kidneys continue
to waste away with Inflammation
liberation and decay, and the victim
eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that
passes through the heart passes through
the kidneys. If the kidneys are dis
eased the blood soaks up this disease
and takes it all through the system.
Hence it is that the claim is made that
Warmers safe cure, the only known
specific for kidney diseases, which is
sold largely by all dealers, cures 90 per
cent of human ailments, because it,
and it alone, is able to maintain the
natural activity of the kidneys and to
neutralize and remove the uric acid, or
kidney poison, as fast as it is formed.
If this acid is not removed there is
inactivity of the kidneys, and there will
be produced in the system paralysis,
apopleXy, dyspepsia, consumption, heart
disease, headaches, rheumatism, pneu-
monia, impotency, and all the nameless
diseases of delicate women. If the poi
sonous matteris separated from the blood
as fast as it is formed, these diseases,
in a majority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires particle of small
pox virus to produce that vile disease,
and the poisonous matter from the
kidneys, passing all through the sys-
TEN and becoming lodged in different
weak points, is equally destructive, al
though more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into
the kidneys, and how quickly the blood
passing through them goes to the heart
and lungs and other parts of the sys-
tenn, carrying this deadly virus with it,
all would believe without hesitation
what has so often been stated in adj
vertisements in these columns-that the
kidneys are the most important organs
in the body
They may regard this article as an
advertisement and refuse to believe it,
but that is n matter over which we
have no control. Careful investiga-
ton and science itself are proving be-
yond doubt that this organ is, in fact,
more important than any other in the
system as health regulator, and as
such should be closely watched for the
